[Pharo-project] What packages do you use that you can't live without?!
by Sean P. DeNigris April 27, 2010

April 27, 2010

In most of the threads on this list, I learn about packages that sound totally indispensible (e.g. WorkingSet, algernon). I thought it'd be great to share what we're using to develop that makes a dramatic difference on our productivity. And, especially whether they work in 1.0 or 1.1 or both. Being new, I just have two: 1. SSpec - works in Pharo 1.0 almost flawlessly, I fixed it for Pharo 1.1 and will upload shortly 2. Setup - works in Pharo 1.0, I uploaded a fixed for 1.1 version to ss Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/What-packages-do-you-use-that-you-can-t-live-without-… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-project] [squeak-dev] World menu OCompletion-like algorithm
by Mariano Martinez Peck April 27, 2010

April 27, 2010

Hi Sean. I wanted that too. I remember it was one of the things I missed more as I come from Eclipse world. There I used to have ctrl + F7 or similar. There is something similar in Squeak/Pharo. Open a couple of windows (browser, workspace, transcript, test runnerr, etc) and then, in the world, do a "shift + click" ... It would be great to have a short cut for that cheers mariano On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 8:11 PM, Sean P.

[Pharo-project] [Pharo-users] RB AST serialization
by Daniel Galdames April 27, 2010

April 27, 2010

Hi, I'm working on a serialization of a RB AST, is in a very very earlier state, it can encode simple ASTs into a string but today i changed the encode methods, so now you can't decode the generated string :-P .Some node from AST-Core can't be encoded yet (RBPragmaNode, RBArrayNode, RBLiteralArrayNode) because I'm not sure what to encode, and the nodes aren't documented, at least in Pharo 1.0. Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated!! :-) I uploaded the code in squeaksource: http://www.squeaksource.com/AstSerializer.html I'm a bit new to Smalltalk and Pharo, so feel free to comment... Greetings, Daniel Galdames G.

[Pharo-project] Behavior of Rectangle
by Alexandre Bergel April 27, 2010

April 27, 2010

Dear List, I spend quite some time in tracking down a bug in Mondrian. I found it. The source of it stems from the following behavior in Pharo: -=-=-=-=-=-= (0@0 corner: 10@10) containsPoint: 5@5. => true (10@10 corner: 0@0) containsPoint: 5@5. => false -=-=-=-=-=-= I find the latter a bit surprising. VW returns false as well. I would expect the second expression to return true. There is also "(10@0 corner: 0@10) containsPoint: 5@5. => false" I looked in the Pharo mailing list archive, and apparently this hasn't been discussed yet. The class Rectangle is central. Modifying it (either by making "(10@10 corner: 0@0) containsPoint: 5@5" returns true or not permitting a rectangle "(10@10 corner: 0@0)" to be valid) may have some serious impact. What do you think? Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

[Pharo-project] SandstoneDb infos
by laurent laffont April 27, 2010

April 27, 2010

Hi, Ramon Leon brings some clarification on SandstoneDb, good to know: ( http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/04/sandstonedb-simple-activerecord-styl… ) If you'd like to avoid restarting the image when you create subclasses, you can just run SDCheckPointer startUp: true. This is what happens at image startup that ensures all the directories exist and reloads the database. Also, just FYI, you don't need to make all biz objects active records, had the tweets just been an Object subclass, they would have been save with the Person in the same file as the Person atomically. Of course, then the only way to get the tweets would be through the person, since it'd be the aggregate root for that aggregate object cluster. Anyway, nice screencast.

Hi romain Often when I edit code, the completion works well but I end up been forced to delete part of the text manually. Here is the scenario classDefinedSelector foo... ^ cursor Then I type meta the system proposes me metaclassDefinedSelector I type enter and I get metaclassDefinedSelector classDefinedSelector foo ^ so I have to remove by hand classDefinedSelector. So it would be good if we could eat the current text when doing the substitution. Am I the only one getting such behavior? Stef

[Pharo-project] (no subject)
by Alwin Lin April 26, 2010

April 26, 2010

Hi everyone! I'm a student learning to use smalltalk. I want to get the results from a C code program. I have searched a lot about this question on the internet, it seems i need to use a package called "alien" or something like FFI. But until now, I still don't have any concrete idea about how to do it. Could anyone please just tell me some examples about this question. Some simple source codes would be really appreciated. Thanks alot. Sincerely Xin Lin

Hi all We appreciate feedback and request now to avoid us to be flooded here is a proposal. - It does not really make sense to comment on 1.0 without checking 1.1 We will not change 1.0. So better check 1.1 - We do not have that many resources so if you want something, it is also important that you see how you can help. May be you do not know directly the topic but by helping on another front, people may have more time for this one. - Bugs can be entered for 1.0 but again check 1.1 because only REALLY severe bugs will get fixed in 1.0.
